That's what I figured, thanks.

Can anybody advise how to install this? The cup holder sits in place nicely but the trim ring is odd, like it needs to be glued down? Is this right or am I missing the boat here?

When I start my car with the climate controls set to auto as I have to for years. It only blows cold air even when the car has warmed up. If I change the settings to manual and turn the temp up, it will start blowing warm air. I can then change it back to auto and it seems to work normally at...

The hats are installed correctly. The springs are stock. Let me rephrase. The truck is pretty level. The step bars are a little uneven with the ground now. I think that is my issue. I'm thinking I just don't like it and will more if the back is up a touch. I guess that makes my questions. If I...

I have an 07 Sport with 150k miles. The XREAS system was worn out. I had a shop install Bilstein 5100's all the way around with the front at .85" adjustment. I think the back looks too low now by just a bit. What do you think is the best way to raise the back about the same as the front. As far...

Yes, Fumoto. Must have for any vehicle you plan keeping a while.

The factory keyless module will still be there, you just need a new remote. If you want remote start buy a DEI product (viper, avital, there are more)

yeah, I got one the other day, no issues so far for me though

I might feel inclined to let them know you'll pass on their clearly satisfactory resolution to Toyota corporate so they know what a "great" job they did handling the situation. Also let them know you'll double check with law enforcement as well to make sure no crime was committed. Reassure them...

DEI was the only way to go when I installed remote starts a little over 10 years ago. I can't imagine much has changed. I still buy DEI products myself with every new vehicle purchase.

(A)Ignition coil is great place to get a tach signal. The 4 wires at each coil usually have three wires that are the same color and one that is different. The different colored wire is a tach signal and the one you need. (B) Scotch locks are not the best way to tap a wire on a remote start. The...

A proper remote start install taps into a tachometer signal or ignition coil signal wire that gives ac voltage that is linear to RPM. Looks like they tried one wire and it wasn't right so they tried another one. Its usually easy to get the right one the first time based on color but shit does...

Good, Fast, Cheap.....pick two If you aren't good with wiring, this isn't for you because its a lot of wiring. There is no easy remote start for a 4th gen 4runner. Directed remote starts are the best IMO.

H1/7 BLUE (-) INSTANT TRIGGER INPUT green/yellow - Back Door ECU in rear liftgate, white 25 pin plug, pin 7, you'll have to run the wire back there and through the existing wire loom H1/8 GREEN (-) DOOR TRIGGER INPUT, ZONE 3 used for door triggers LF red/black, RF red/yel, LR pink/black, RR...

it will not drain the battery, alarm will only go off for a minute I believe. Two-way would be nice but remotes are expensive and still have a limited range.
